The colouring offered by this Clos Vougeot is seductive, a deep purple with violet tints. The air becomes sweetly perfumed when the wine is allowed to breathe. Our nostrils are assailed by a floral, violet fragrance along with the sensual odours of red cherry, blackberry, oak and spices including green pepper. And what character in the mouth ! The palate is filled by a generous volume, while structured power is the theme of this cuvée. The length and finish are remarkable. A delight ! Enjoy this alongside a duck breast with cherries, lamb, or a wild boar stew with cognac. Serve between 14°C and15°C. Hide this in the cellar for at least 7-8 years before putting the wine on the table. Ideally to be tried after 15 to 20 years, or more depending on the vintage. jeanpierreguyon.com
